March Madness is so beautiful because when a team gets knocked out, their season is over. EPL and the English leagues make that impossible.

I think the FA Cup is still great for teams below the Premier League. The game I watched earlier between Derby County and Crawley Town was miles more entertaining than Liverpool-Man U. So maybe instead of “fixing” anything we need to appreciate it for what it is – a nice chance for some small teams to get in the spotlight for a while.
